PULZI, Wagner  e  RODRIGUES, Graciele Massoli. Developmental Coordination Disorder: a Literature Review. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.3, pp.433-444. ISSN 1980-5470.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-65382115000300009.

Movement is directly related to learning and social relationships. Children who have movement difficulties may have developmental coordination disorder (DCD). This article presents a literature review on the subject and aimed to discuss what has been published about DCD between the years 2002 and 2012, with an overview of the history, prevalence, influences in daily life, academic and social relations and possibilities for intervention. The term DCD is used to refer to difficulties in motor skills that are not the result of intellectual, neurological or primary sensory disabilities. This problem affects the lives of children in their daily life, leisure activities, school and social life. At school, this disorder leads to low academic performance, difficulties in writing and understanding of mathematical concepts. In social life, the isolation and the difficulty of belonging to a group may occur. Both parents and teachers can assist in global and social development of children through different strategies. Currently, there is a need for developing proposals designed to develop and enhance the skills of students with motor difficulties.
